Farm system too! One of the reasons they're so good is that all the way down to low-A ball products of the cards system are taught with rigor the fundamentals of the game and to play it a certain way and with a certain respect for the game. Quality organization. As a Braves fan, I hate all their World Series rings, but I have to respect them and their process.

Hey Freak, my VN mobile page always jumps back to the top when it's finished loading. Drives me nuts cause it always makes me click the wrong thread. I've used chrome and the stock browser, does it on both. No other site does it.

I've tried clearing cache/cookies. I use the iPhone option at mobile. VolNation. Com. Any reason you can think of?

They get players with talent...it's the development after they're acquired...IMO gutting the scouts is unnecessary...minor league overhaul? I'm on board with that.

Me too! The login is at the bottom and with my slow a$$ old iPhone, I scroll all the way to the bottom, click, then it jumps me all the way back to the top and I accidentally click on the rules thread. Drives me nuts!

Hahaha, Ya I've pretty much memorized the tip of the rules thread. Glad I'm not the only one.

I think it does this maybe because of delays in loading ad images. If the ads are slow to load, and you start navigating down the page, then the ads load, the page wants to render what it thinks you should see now that everything is loaded. I have the same issue. Is there a browser setting we could mess with, Freak? Or an app in the works? ;)

Count me as one of the mobile users who has been irritated by this (not that I will stop if it doesn't get fixed :p)

Who said anything about the scouts? Not me. The Braves are great in scouting. Even our talent development is decent up until the majors. When you play with the big boys you have to be able to make adjustments, and that's where we go wrong. For example, when a pitcher finds a weak spot inside, they jam you in all day. You have to adjust to that. We can't seem to teach our players to adapt once the get to the big league club. It's like these shifts we see so often these days. Batters need to learn to hit to all fields. Chipper never had a shift on him, he tap it in the gap every time. We are definitely missing him around BP.

Here is a picture of the deer stand I am building to sit in with my 3 boys. Thought it would make a good 1500th post.

What do you guys think about classical music? I'm actually listening to Beethoven's 9th symphony.

Which skin are you using?
Click to expand...

Not sure what you mean by skin, but I selected the newest option (iphone) from the mobile.VolNation.com page.

Lots of other people are having the same issue, and I think some of them selected other options.

I am using the same option and have the same issue. Mostly have learned to wait for the jump before I touch the thread I want so I don't have to read the rules again. :)

Sometimes I think I can beat the jump, but it rarely works.

Have you seen the family guy where quagmire and Cleveland are tied up and forced to watch the remote control walk through on repeat?

"due to the influx of new members we've had recently.... "

Wtf. It was that easy? I should have said something long ago. Well done, I'm very impressed. If only government made fixes so quickly. Thanks!

Actually, that had been irritating me lately and I just figured I was the only one. lol.
